Maori Natural Lore
Song of the Old Tides
If you wish to probe deeper into the
ancient Maori world, this book is for you.
It’s a
treasure house of history and sacred lore. While it’s an old story,
it has a power that speaks clearly to our time. It takes us back to
truths, kept safe for generations, that we need today. It flies
above the politics of race or cause and strident words.
Using the words of the elders it says:
‘All born of this land
are of this land. All who sleep beneath the mountains of this land
are of this land. All who have come to this land and call it home
are of this land.’

It offers everyone a place to stand. It brings
into today a philosophy that once held sway in Aotearoa/New Zealand
and the Pacific.
Warfare was not the Polynesian way. That tragedy only goes back
to recent centuries. In the preceding 2,500 years the Polynesian
peoples knew only peace, being bound by ancient ties to their wider
families. They lived in harmony with the land and each other. That’s
not myth that’s science, the fruit of the latest archaeology. The
author’s sensitive handing of the old philosophies and the sacred
lore helps this remarkable book bridge the chasm that often
separates cultures.
The Song of the Old Tides speaks to modern generations
because its wisdom is timeless. The beauty of its design, the
remarkable photography and the power of the words make it a work to
cherish.

I have now finished this
wonderful book and cannot even begin to thank you enough. I could
hardly read the last chapter for tears and have to tell you so much
fell into place… I intend to get two more copies for my children and
in turn they will pass it on to their children.

Writung agin – translates as ‘writing again’
once I oil the wheels of my computer and pump up the hard drive. I’m
a bit rusty on the keyboard and have a heap of scientific articles
to read to bring me back to speed. It’s been nearly two years since
I put aside work on ‘Origins’ the working title for the book that
tracks Polynesian origins back 14,000 years and traces their amazing
voyages through the Pacific.
